CONFERENCE THEME

New Media Technologies and Social Impact:

Creative Solutions for Community Well-being and Values

 

The GCCRC 2021 Conference, theme of which is New Media Technologies and Social Impact: Creative Solutions for Community Well-being and Values, calls for our examination of how new media technologies bring about various societal harms as well as solutions to them. Without doubt, new media technologies have had profound societal impacts; the real question is whether the innovative technologies make society better or worse and what determines the nature of the impacts that various communication technologies could have on the society. Some scholars argue that certain types of technology use cause (rather than solve) more problems while others point out that technologies can help us overcome various challenges if used properly. For example, the AR/VR experiences can elicit more empathy toward minority groups, and AI chatbots can help people manage depression. Topics of conference presentations may include the patterns, causes, or mechanisms of societal harms from media and communication technologies and positive pro-social impact of the technologies on community well-being and values. Conceptual, theoretical, and empirical research can be presented at this conference. This theme invites scholars to consider a wide variety of media technology-related problems, including (but not limited to) the following:

 

• Misinformation, opinion polarization, filter bubble

• Community involvement, empathy, trust, isolation issues

• Digital media and public/mental health

• Cyberbullying, online hate

• Excessive media use

• Youth self-perception problems

• Cyber/data security

• Human-technology interaction problems

• Digital divide, the gap between demographics and regions
